Everton Star Reacts To Champions League Final 2020 Decision & Reveals Which Country Should Host Euro 2024

UEFA revealed on Thursday that the Ataturk Olympic Stadium will host the 2020 Champions League final, in Istanbul, Turkey.

The stadium was announced as the host by the UEFA Executive Committee, who met in Kiev today ahead of Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool.

The city has hosted the UEFA Champions League Final 2005, UEFA Cup Final 2009, 2010 World Basketball Championships, FIFA U20 World Cup 2013 and other World Championships in various sports.

Turkey will also host the 2019 UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul.

The country has also bid for Euro 2024.

Everton star Cenk Tosun revealed that he has no doubt Istanbul is the right city for the 2020 Champions League final and that Turkey is capable of hosting Euro 2024.

So that leaves Tosun just enough time to help guide the Toffees into the Champions League next season and reach the final the following year in Istanbul.

Anyway this is what Tosun had to say about it all while on international duty in Turkey: “Having played in Istanbul and throughout Turkey, as well as in Europe, I am in no doubt that the city and the country will host incredible events, both in 2020 with the UEFA Champions League Final and in 2024 should they be successful in their bid to host UEFA EURO 2024.

“With passionate, knowledgeable fans, cutting edge modern stadia, a truly fascinating history and a welcoming culture, Turkey offers a unique environment to both play and watch football in.

“The emotions you feel during the Champions League ceremony and hearing the theme is totally fantastic. Having scored four goals and made two assists in the group stage last year, I can say that the satisfaction it brings is truly unique.”

Turkey take on Iran in an international friendly at the Fatih Terim Stadium on Monday, Tosun is set to start upfront.
